What Are NanoPowers?
NanoPowers are Brawler power-ups introduced in Season 52's Ramen Rebellion event. When unlocked for a certain Brawler, that Brawler gains 3 unique Powers. At the start of a match where the NanoPowers modifier is active, you pick one Power, giving you a way to adjust how that Brawler performs in that match depending on the situation, since each of the 3 Powers tends to lean into a different playstyle, whether that's more aggression, more survivability, or more utility/support for the team.
There are 104 NanoPowers total and there are 4 rarity tiers based on the Brawler's own rarity:
- Baseline for Rare and Super Rare Brawlers
- Augmented for Epic Brawlers
- Cybernetic for Mythic Brawlers
- Quantum for Legendary and Ultra Legendary Brawlers.
Once a NanoPower is unlocked, Brawlers with one active show a visible indicator on their Brawler screen and Battle Card, so you can tell at a glance who's ready to use their modifier in an upcoming match. You can also check everything you've unlocked so far in the Powers screen inside the Event Hub.
Unlock NanoPowers Through Opening NanoDrops
NanoPowers aren't earned directly, instead you can get them by opening NanoDrops, the seasonal loot containers introduced this season.
When you open a NanoDrop, you're shown 5 cups and you pick 3 of them. Each cup contains between 0 and 3 NanoNoodles, and each NanoNoodle equals 1 reward pulled from the pool, which includes NanoPowers alongside Coins, Bling, Credits, XP Doublers, and skins. A single NanoDrop can give you anywhere from 1 to 9 rewards depending on how your cup picks land.
Every NanoDrop you open also fills the NanoMeter, which pays out additional milestone rewards as you accumulate more drops through the season. Roughly 150 NanoDrops is enough to unlock every seasonal Nano skin for free if you're playing and pulling consistently.
How to Get NanoDrops
NanoDrops are free to get just by playing the game. Here are the sources to get them:
- Daily Wins - Playing and winning matches each day earns NanoDrops as part of the daily reward cycle.
- Mega Quests - Completing the larger weekly quest objectives drops NanoDrops as part of the reward.
- Boss Fights - Clearing Boss Fight events during the season rewards NanoDrops.
- Side Quests - Completing the smaller seasonal side quest challenges.
- Daily Contests - A new addition for Season 52. Every day a fresh set of contests appears with three game mode options and a limited number of attempts. Play at least one game in the daily lineup and you earn a NanoDrop, no win required.
- Creator QR Codes - Content creators in the Supercell Creator program distribute QR codes that reward NanoDrops. Scanning them with your phone while Brawl Stars is installed claims the drop automatically.
- Supercell Store - Every Friday, the Supercell Store is giving away 2 free NanoDrops so don't forget to visit and get them.

NanoDrop Drop Rates
Reward count per drop: A single-reward drop is the most common outcome at around 32%, and the odds shrink the higher the reward count climbs, down to roughly 1.33% for a full 9-reward pull. The exact percentages for the reward counts in between (2 through 8) haven't been officially published, so treat those as somewhere between the two confirmed endpoints rather than fixed numbers.
NanoPower pull rate: Getting a NanoPower (or its 100 Bling fallback if you already own it) sits at a confirmed 23.33% chance per individual reward draw, making it one of the more commonly pulled rewards in the whole pool, not a rare chase item.
All Skins Available in NanoDrops
- Tickoyaki (Mythic)
- Fighter Berry (Mythic) - unlocks as a guaranteed NanoMeter milestone reward
- Tech Tara (Mythic)
- Cyber Shelly (Legendary)
- Cyberpunk Jae-Yong (Epic)
- Master Mico (Epic)
- Nano Nori (Rare)
Cyber Shelly stands out as the only Legendary in the lineup, making it the season's chase skin, but since around 150 NanoDrops guarantees all five skins for free, it's fully achievable for consistent free-to-play players without needing to rely purely on luck.
Conclusion
NanoPowers are one of the biggest additions to Brawl Stars this season, giving you a real way to tweak how your Brawlers perform in featured event modes. Since the only path to unlocking them is through NanoDrops, and NanoPowers land at a healthy 23.33% pull rate, opening as many drops as possible is the clear priority. The best strategy is simple: don't skip a day. Daily Wins, Daily Contests, Mega Quests, and the Supercell Store's Friday freebies add up fast, and the NanoMeter rewards you just for accumulating drops. If you're planning to unlock brawlers faster, get nanodrops or purchase exclusive skins, LootBar offers a safe andconvenient way to top up Brawl Stars Gems.
